Lost To The World In Which The World Is Lost To You

Chapter 3

        Shadow stood in the library of there four story tree house that Nyxie had designed the whole tree from design to decorations, Hiccup created the tree and followed Nyxie's directions to design the interior and hallowed it out, Crystal decorated inside and out, Eclipse had done the wiring, he carried the heavy decors and objects inside, Dilas tried to stay out of the way, Precious had stocked food and materials, Korra worked on the camouflage for the tree.

It has now been years since they were first declared the legends. They are now all 12 well, except Nyxies little brother who's 11. They have excelled in their training with magic and the defensive arts, but no one excelled more than Nyxie.

And although he knew that they were supposed to be brothers and sisters. He could not help but crave more than brotherly love from Nyxie as he felt that way towards her. And even though it hurt he would not risk losing her even if it meant he would never fill his craving, he could not bear not having her around so he was willing to deal with it.

When she talked to him he could tell by her voice she considered him her friend. Even though he was closer to her than the others. He knew they were friends and nothing more. So here he found himself in the library staring at her as usual, she was perched upon her chair levitating and reading a syfy book titled Eragon part 1 of the Inheritance series.

There she was right in front of him as perfect as ever. Wearing a black and white trim tank top, that showed the very tip of her bra and the top of her boobs. But he wasn't a pervert and didn't wanna come off as one. But they were very distracting, so he let his eyes linger only a minute on them.

Even though he didn't want to come off as a pervert, he did occasionally look at them, only enough that he was able to keep track of their progress. And as far as he was concerned they were developing perfectly. She also wore a pair of white with black trim shorts that showed off her long pale white legs. He looked at them, the smooth skin on her thighs drawing his attention to them, but again he only let them linger for a minute, and lastly she had a pair of black and white converse.

He had studied her so many times that it became an everyday habit. And each day with each new discovery he only wanted her more and more. She was right in front of him and he couldn't have her. It would have driven him mad if he hadn't known the possible consequence that he might lose her and he definitely didn't want that.

As he continued watching he allowed himself to fantasize about having her. Holding her in his, the way it would feel, her smell of ripe strawberries, apples, battle and ancient magic, just the thought of her smell made his mouth water.

But an all to familiar voice snapped him out of his fantasy. It was Nyxie who had moved from her original spot to be sitting right next to him. Looking at him with worry and concern plain on her face.

Nyximous pov: He's doing it again. Sigh I'm getting worried about him. Is he sick or something? He's been doing it a lot lately staring off into space. Well time to wake him from his trance. "Shadow" he immediately looked up at me. His eyes were alert and focused on me. Waiting for me to say what I had to say, almost begging to hear my voice.

"You were doing it again," I said to him. He immediately had a guilty look in his eyes. Sorry he said, "for what?" I asked, he seemed to have regretted saying that because he immediately started mumbling to himself.

I got annoyed so i said sternly, "Shadow what are you sorry for, answer me." he looked at the floor but before he could answer me. My little brother came in saying he needed help with something. So I went to go help him.

I looked back to see a shameful look on his face, I wondered why he was so upset and did his staring off have something to do with it, but then i was almost out the door when he threw a piece of paper at me, i easily caught it. On the front of the paper it said "to read when alone'' and "please don't be mad."

I was confused but obliged. Shadow wouldn't have told me to do something if it wasn't the right thing to do. I put the paper in my room in the tree house and walked out to help my brother.

After I helped my brother I came back and I read the paper. It said "I'm sorry Nyxie, but I fear if I tell you the truth, I might push you away. I don't want that. Please don't be mad at me and try to understand."

I closed the note and walked to where I knew he would be and gave him a hug. I heard my dad calling so I hurried back home. I looked back to see him smile in my direction. I smiled back and continued home.
